[CHORUS] 

I'll keep this brief it's nice to meet you 

Though I can't get past your ego 

I never hold a grudge cause love is the way 

Hello hi hey...anyway 



When we do talk then I get sucked into 

Introductions to your ego 

You're rubbing me the wrong way 

Hello hi hey...anyway 



[VERSE 1: Vursatyl] 

Hey yo peace Vursatyl 



Hey what's up dude 



Yo my name is Brian but my MC name is Catapult (oh word?) 

Word my crew is called the Cannibals (ah cool) 

Yeah we're 30 deep and each member's a mutant culmination of six animals 

See each MC is simultaneously (okay) six creatures, that's six styles with six features 

Man we're the wild kingdom of hip hop... 



Okay! Hey! It's nice to meet you but I'm just about to go on stage... 



Right, well, speaking of stages we're the latest phase in hip hop 

And I mean face it..hip hop sucks without us 

And we're the best that bust and best at touching the mic 

I mean I like how y'all do (thank you) 

But we on some new next level complexity, tarzan telepathy, organic especially 

Me see I'm kinda like the leader.. 



Damn, I wasn't knowin! 



Well, you sleepin on a heater.. 



Nah, I ain't never been the type to sleep... 



Me either! 

And that reminds me, we just recorded 90 new treats (uh huh) 

Our 15 CD box set is finally complete (whoa..) 

And did I fail to mention also I do beats on my Playstation 2 

And I've comprised the hi-fidelity medley supreme stream a heater beat you won't believe I'm even makin' mu... 



Hold up cat, beats you makin for me? 



No doubt, wait til you see! 



Now why you doing that man? 



C'mon Vurs, man you my favorite MC, next to me 

Cause these MCs are losers! (crumbs!) 

They just some wannabe bunch of me broken boosers (bums!) 

Word that's true and even my crew 

The truth is without me those dudes are borderline useless 



Which brings me to my solo LP, my new website, my summer tour (wow) 

My cameos and collaborations with some obscure artists.. (shh..) 

It's hard to harness this much talent (yeah I'll bet) 

C'mon Vurs man you should know you're a vet 

And by the way when's the next time y'all playin? 



Well besides tonight I think it's uh... 



Uh huh right like I was sayin 

I'm nice and if you got some advice on points I'm missin my ears are open 



Alright listen.. 



[CHORUS] 



[VERSE 2: Vursatyl] 

None of this is concocted 

It's not pretend 

Honest depictions of what I comprehend as a parent arrogant 

And I've got a friend that sometimes get's into (phone rings)...hold up this might be him 



Hello? 



Hi is Erb there? 



This him 



Hey what's up with you bro? 



Loungin man 

Long time no hear from 



Yeah I know 

Man I just flew in last night 

I caught y'all show 

I could of had that slot but they was fakin on the dough 



Word? 



Yeah they fronted 



Well we just wanna get heard 



Well yeah y'all should settle 

I keep forgetting y'all ain't on my level 

And so many are not quite 

The MC that I am I guess it's lonely at the top right? (well, yeah I guess) 



Man it's hard being the best 

These MCs get pissed cause next to me they almost don't exist 

No diss but who can really say that they've gone where I've gone 

Or play where I've played 

Or that they've done what I've done 

Stay where I've stayed 

Sold what I've sold 

And done close 



Yeah the nerve of some folks 



Yeah and even y'all can't compare 

Y'all startin to swell 

But a cameo from me would really boast your record sales 



Mm...well we kinda tryin to build with these cats from round the way 



Man don't tell me that you feel them paperweight so-called rhymers I can make or break 

Hold me, eternal gratitude, show me respect 

And ask any record store 

People might buy your album but it's really me that they checkin for 

I've seen it once or a hundred times 



[phone rings...] 



Hold up folks I got somebody on the other line 



[CHORUS REPRISE] 

Though we're good friends it never ends 

Your self destructive massive ego 

I never hold a grudge cause love is the way 

Hello hi hey...anyway 



You've gone too far 

It's just the way you are 

Hope that doesn't scar your ego 

You're rubbing me the wrong way 

Hello hi hey..anyway 



[VERSE 3: Vursatyl] 

Vur-sa-tyl 



I must be tired I'm hearing voices 



It's me Vurs the one who interferes in your choices 



Wait, who are you? 



Now see there that's the treat 

I've been known as arrogant 

To sometimes conceit 

Self-absorbed, self-centered 

I'm cocky, vein 

Stuck up, proud, pompous, other vulgar names 



I'm closely associated to fame and success (alright) 

But I'm a part of everybody's thoughts more or less 

I'm just confidence misconstrued as something evil 



Alright get to the point man...who are you? 



Your ego 



Nah I play the humble (true) 

I watch my words close 

My rep proceeds me 

You never heard Erb boast 



Hold it 

Need I remind you of the clever 

Kid rhyming backstage in your ear forever? 



Yeah, so? 



And what about the call from your friend? 

Who was kinda jaded, kinda dissed you at the end? 



Now what you getting at? 



That was us 



Us who? 



Me and you 

Man we were that kid Vurs 



Nah man! 



It's true! 



I never sweat other rhymers! 

I never diss my troopers! 



Well that kid was our past 

And that friend could be our future 



Nah you got me twisted 

Ego trips don't concern me! 



Chill Vurs those we're just stages on your journey 

I mean you are dope 



Stop it man 



[Vurs is hearing voices...] 

I mean you're the best rapper 

I mean really 

Just think about it man 

No one can touch you 

I mean you're better than all the other MCs out there 



Ahhhhhhhhh!!! 



[CHORUS REPRISE 2] 

How can this be? 

I finally see 

That it was me who had the ego 

Please don't hold a grudge cause love is the way 

Hello hi hey...anyway 



Swallow my pride 

Now that I'm wise 

Sincerely I apologize 

For rubbing you the wrong way 

Hello hi hey...anyway
